fixing leveling xp reporting

When using combat abilities (like "smite"), the web frontend was calling GET /api/v1/abilities/{ability_id} to fetch ability details for display, but this endpoint didn't exist, causing a 404 error.
  Additionally, after fixing that, the ability would execute but:

  1. Modal onclick issue: The onclick="closeModal()" on ability buttons was removing the button from the DOM before HTMX could fire the request
  2. Field name mismatch: The API returns mana_cost but the frontend expected mp_cost
  3. Duplicate text in combat log: The web view was adding "You" as actor and damage separately, but the API message already contained both
  4. Page not auto-refreshing: Various attempts to use HX-Trigger headers failed due to HTMX overwriting them

  Fixes Made

  1. Created /api/app/api/abilities.py - New abilities API endpoint with GET /api/v1/abilities and GET /api/v1/abilities/<ability_id>
  2. Modified /api/app/__init__.py - Registered the new abilities blueprint
  3. Modified /public_web/templates/game/partials/ability_modal.html - Changed onclick="closeModal()" to hx-on::before-request="closeModal()" so HTMX captures the request before modal closes
  4. Modified /public_web/app/views/combat_views.py:
    - Fixed mp_cost → mana_cost field name lookup
    - Removed duplicate actor/damage from combat log entries (API message is self-contained)
    - Added inline script to trigger page refresh after combat actions
  5. Modified /public_web/templates/game/combat.html - Updated JavaScript for combat action handling (though final fix was server-side script injection)
